BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

Impressive. Of course the shrouds get closer as you go up - more art than science...

Thanks, Paul. Started with the easiest ones to practice …..

Good evening Peter. I now know you have issues….. . To do spliced eyes for the ratlines on such a small ship almost crosses the line of possibility….. Although I have seen you pull off other insane modelling aspects so I’m holding my breath as you near the top.

Thanks, Grant. What is not possible has yet to be invented. (Or something like that ….)

Hope you had a good bike ride into Germany. Cheers Grant

O yes, almost 2200 km and 3267 curves in 6 days. (Or something like that …..)

Beautiful,
Groetjes

You also thanks, Patrick.

That rope is made from 3 single strands of skala 360 3x1, you need a magnifier to see the strands in the rope, not only skills are needed, also nerves from steel.
I hold my breath too.

Thanks, Stephan. You can relax and breathe again, I have reached the limit …..

Hi Peter,

You did a fantastic job! When comparing the original to your model, there's hardly any difference.
I also had some trouble with the fake splice at first. But with time, it went quite quickly.

Thanks, Johann. You gave me the inspiration.

By the way, I saw it:
Bavarian motorcycles and Bavarian beer – those are excellent exports from my home region...

Best regards from Bavaria,
Johann

Yes, it was Bavaria quality time.

All the others also thanks for watching and the likes.
Regards, Peter
